Percent Below 50%, 80% of AMI
Using area median income (AMI) is a more appropriate way to measure low-income status, as the cost of living is substantially higher than the federal average in San Jose. This analysis plots percent of devices entirely at home against percent of households with incomes 50% and 80% percent of Santa Clara County AMI.
Loading in LODES Data
In this part of my analysis I load in a LODES dataset on SJ in order to compare percent of devices at home to a number of economic and employment factors.
